Activity Krazy Kritzel

Drawing board on your head

A new variant for the classic creative communication game, terms are not explained verbally or presented in a pantomime, you can only draw them. And as if that isn’t difficult enough, you do not have the drawing board in front of yourself on the table, but in front of your forehead on your head!

The active player puts the board on his head so that it sits on his forehead, draws a card and then tries to draw the first term on the card, within the runtime of the timer, and of course without using numbers or letters and without speaking or making noises - you can only nod your head if someone guesses the term correctly. You can erase your drawing at any time and begin again. Words made up from combining words can be presented in separate drawings.

If someone guesses the term correctly within the timer’s runtime of 30 seconds, both artist and guesser are rewarded with two chips; if the term is not guessed within 30 seconds, the artist can take a look at his drawing and decide, if he erases it or keeps working at it. In both cases, he has another 30 seconds; when the term is guessed within this time, the reward is one chip only.

In this way, all four terms on a card are dealt with - for instance, ghost - magnet - zipper - leg of a chicken. After all four terms on a card, all make a note of the number of chips they collected and the next player becomes the artist. When all players have been active once or twice, you win with most points.  

Crazy scribbling, as promised by the name of the game, and lots of fun and laughter when you try to draw a tusk. The selection of terms is a good mixture and absolutely family-friendly.
